Today, Harry looks back with great regret at the sin of his youth. "It was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life," he says. "I felt so ashamed afterwards," he admits in the new Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan. "All I wanted to do was make it right," he recalls.

The British royal wanted to learn from his mistake and set out to learn more about the terrible atrocities committed by the Nazis. This personal educational work was very important to him.

"I sat down and spoke to the Chief Rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me. I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor," describes Harry.
